IBM has developed a groundbreaking 0.7nm-class fabrication technology, marking the industry's first sub-1nm manufacturing process. This new technology utilizes nanostack transistors, stacking complementary n-type and p-type transistors vertically across two wafers instead of the traditional side-by-side placement on a single wafer. This innovative approach promises significant improvements, offering up to 50% higher performance and 70% greater energy efficiency compared to IBM's previous 2nm-class node. AI
IMPACT This advancement in chip manufacturing could lead to more powerful and energy-efficient hardware, potentially accelerating AI development and deployment.
